Use manipulatives to make mathematical concepts tangible. Use interactive math games to get students interested in what they are learning.

Visual Representations & Number Lines

Use number lines to visualize addition, subtraction, and number relationships.

Story Problems & Real-World Connections

Apply mathematical concepts to real-life scenarios such as sharing or shopping. Students should be encouraged to write original math stories.

Collaborative Learning & Math Talks

Invite students to share their thoughts by offering 'math talks'. Use 'Think-Pair-Share' for solving problems.

Differentiated Instruction & Assessment

To accommodate the different needs of students, offer activities that are differentiated. To track student progress and modify instruction, use formative assessments. Give advanced students enrichment activities.

Fluently add and subtract within 20

aackerman22_1 — 2025-03-12 03:09:54 UTC

Mapped Activities: Using manipulatives, I want my students to slowly move towards mastery towards automaticity in addition and subtraction facts within 20.

Understand place value (hundreds, tens, ones)

aackerman22_1 — 2025-03-14 03:29:52 UTC

Mapped Activities: Using visual representations, I want to show students patterns in numbers to help them gain mastery towards using a place value charts and hundreds charts to help them to explain each number's value.

Solve one- and two-step word problems.

aackerman22_1 — 2025-03-14 03:32:20 UTC

Mapped Activities: Using everything experiences, I want my students to be able to write solve word problems that are related to their everyday lives. I want my students to be encouraged to come up with their own word problems.

Recognize and work with shapes and their attributes

aackerman22_1 — 2025-03-14 03:47:22 UTC

Mapped Activities: Using math talks, I want my students to the gain mastery with using precise mathematical vocabulary to communicate their understanding of shape attributes.

Progress monitoring

aackerman22_1 — 2025-03-14 03:55:54 UTC

I want my students to be involved in learning activities that are tailored to their needs and learning preferences through differentiated instruction and assessments. My students will get prompts, targeted feedback to help them to recognize their areas of strength and growth. Also, I want them to be inspired to advance and gain a sense of ownership over their education. Students will also be able to evaluate their own learning and know when they need support.
